of course, usually when you cure a system from a virus you disable the system restore but in some case it might have been forgotten.
Still not sure this will enable you to decrypt the files but it might be something to try.
Anyone think this would be a possible avenue to look at?

System Restore does not restore your document/data files - it affects systems files only. I did try to system restore to before I cleaned the virus(So I could possible have the encrypt key) but I got a message that it could not restore that restore point. After trying restore a couple different days with no luck I gave up.
I would think Microsoft would step up and try to help in this since this virus was obviously targeted to their users mainly, and their IE Vulnerability was the cause. They are being awful quiet about it.
